Geocache Description:

This is a medium sized tube container suitable for a few trackables. The trees make a good GPS fix hard, you will need to search around. The camouflage colour mean its hard to see amongst roots and leaves.

A short walk through the vine forest shows a variety of fauna including the Orange Footed scrub Fowl.

Male and female Orange-footed Scrubfowl form permanent pair bonds. Both birds work at building very large incubation mounds of decaying vegetable matter. Heat generated by the decaying humus provides the heat source for the incubation of their eggs. No parental care is provided for the newly hatched chicks who are capable of flight shortly after digging themselves out of the incubation mound.

They are approximately 40 Centimetres in size and their nests are huge mounds of leaves and soil up to 12 metres across and 3.5 metres high.
